We are looking for a new apartment lately because the house is changing its ownership. The owner called us and told us that we need to leave around August.
Now that troubles me big time because I have to face make the decision now that I've been pushed over many times. The current apartment simply does not work -- no hot water, leaking toilet, half functional stove, flashing light or no light, far from work... :-) But it was close to my mom and dad. We are at 17th floor and they are at 2nd floor.
Hard to believe one thing could weight over every other inconveniences for 2 months. It started getting running down only recently and we only don't have time to call the people to fix them up.
Blessed that we saw this apartment last night. It was 3 bed-room, great decorated with modern style, clean and comfortable. The shower would work great and it is behind a curtain! The kitchen actually has nice clean shelves and counter. And it is within the same community with my parent, the rent is only 1000 RMB more than current one.
Owner said that she will go shopping for furnitures with us and she will pay the bill. What eles could we ask for? Robert and I immediately decided that we should take it. Even David was excited and But Robert whispered to me still, "Should I look like I am not satisfied (so we could bargin)?" :-)
I am looking forward to it! I know Robert is too.

Dear Lanqing and Robert,
I am so glad to hear from you as I have been very worried. Your new apartment sounds great--good luck!
Would love to see some recent family photos as I am sure David is growing fast--soon to be three right?
Have you set a date yet for returning to the U.S.? We haven't made definate plans to visit China, but we do want to travel there in the next few years.
Thanks for the kind words about my mom. I still can't believe she's gone--I miss her and feel her loss every day.
Hugs and kisses to all...
Franca
